Rep. Pramila Jayapal, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Washington's 7th district, has shared a series of tweets addressing various political and social issues. These posts reflect her stance on economic inequality, labor practices, and human rights.

On March 25, 2025, Rep. Jayapal expressed her views on economic disparity in America by stating that the country suffers from greed rather than scarcity.

In response to his suggestion of utilizing a younger workforce as an alternative to migrant laborers working illegally in the country at low wages, she tweeted: "Gov. Ron DeSantis says a younger workforce could be part of the solution to replacing 'dirt cheap' labor from migrants in the country illegally." …he means KIDS working overnight shifts.

In another tweet posted on March 26, 2025, Rep. Jayapal called for action with a succinct message: "Free Mahmoud Khalil." The context or details surrounding this statement were not provided within the tweet itself.
